12 Pups of Christmas

So my wife has me watching Hallmark Christmas movies and see how these movies go. When she says that ION Television has Christmas movies. So pups and Christmas,how could a network screw up this movie. They did; it might have pups in the movie and some decorations on houses and one small party around Christmas time. But more about a company going through a tough time and some very bad acting from Charlotte Sullivan, she was better in Rookie Blue (she was bad in that too). This truly is not a Christmas movie. Let the Hallmark Channel show you how to do a proper Christmas movie.

I love Hallmark & Hallmark-esque movies, which should tell you I can tolerate some absolute nonsense, but this has got to be one of the worst movies ever made. Its such a stinker, it makes the average Hallmark movie look like Oscar bait.

The lead actress does actual Joey Tribbiani "smell the fart" acting and the plot has so many holes you could grate cheese with it.

I was so incensed by how bad this movie was, I restarted my IMDB account just to leave this review. Learn from my mistakes and avoid this like the plague.

The lead is honestly a witch. It hurts my heart that ION would air a movie that portrays women like this.

A canine therapist moves to Silicon Valley to work for a GPS tracking company after her boyfriend cheats on her. New boss gives her 12 puppies to re-home before Christmas.

Okay in theory, but Erin is an atrocious character. She claims to be a therapist, but she's rude and lacks compassion. She's truly the hag that steals all joy from the movie. The real problem? The movie doesn't seem to notice how awful she is. The boss even tells her how much she has helped him understand his company and taught him humility!

The continuity is also pretty poor. The dogs pop up and disappear without explanation. Overall the puppy plot goes practically nowhere, another letdown.

I saw this movie a couple of years ago and hated it. I noticed it on today so I thought I would give it another chance. Ihave to say it was just as absolutely terrible as I remembered. The female lead is totally unlikable. Even when something bad happened I had no sympathy for her. She was sarcastic, snarky, condescending and just plain mean. Most of the other actors looked bored and I can't really blame them because I was too.

Words fail me to describe the dialogue, just like they appear to have failed the writers when they wrote the script. I have no idea what tone they were going for.

The only good thing was the dogs but they weren't given enough screen time.
